The complainant accused him of establishing a physical relationship on the promise of marriage and also made allegations of criminal intimidation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After initially being placed in police custody, Porel was sent to judicial custody on August 14 when a Chinsurah court rejected his bail application.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He remained in custody for more than a month before a Chinsurah court granted him bail on <strong>September 17, 2026<\/strong>. His release was expected on September 18, after approximately 36 days in custody, according to reports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Porel has denied the allegations against him. The legal proceedings remain separate from his cricketing career, and the allegations have not resulted in a reported conviction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following his release, Bengal selectors included him in the squad for the Ranji Trophy season opener against Delhi, giving him an opportunity to return to domestic cricket.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Abhishek Porel Breaks Down After Completing His Ranji Trophy Century<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Playing his first competitive match since IPL 2026, Porel produced an impressive batting performance against Delhi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 23-year-old showed excellent concentration and patience against the Delhi bowling attack. He reached his century in 137 deliveries, hitting 11 fours and one six on his way to the milestone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it was his reaction after completing the hundred that attracted attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Porel went down on his knees and started crying in the middle of the pitch.<\/strong> He remained emotional for a few moments before getting back to his feet and raising his bat to acknowledge the applause from his teammates and the Bengal dressing room.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"article-ad ci-article-ad--reserved article-ad--middle\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\"><span class=\"article-ad__label\">Advertisement<\/span><\/aside>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was his second century in first-class cricket and came at an important stage of Bengal\u2019s innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the close of play, Porel had extended his score to an unbeaten 114 off 161 balls, including 13 fours and one six.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Abhishek Porel Breaks Down in Tears After Scoring a Century! \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\udcaf<\/p>\n<p>Back after nearly three months, Porel smashed a brilliant century against Delhi in the Ranji Trophy, finishing unbeaten on 114!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude2d Overwhelmed with emotion, he broke down in tears on the pitch after reaching his hundred!<\/p>\n<p>\u2696\ufe0f His return follows 36 days in custody over rape and criminal intimidation allegations.

Akash Deep also contributed two wickets as Bengal\u2019s pace attack kept the visitors under pressure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Porel and Gharami still unbeaten, Bengal will look to extend their advantage when play resumes on Day 3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Abhishek Porel, however, the century was more than an important contribution to Bengal\u2019s innings. After a difficult period away from cricket, his emotional reaction showed just how much the moment meant to him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bengal wicketkeeper-batter Abhishek Porel could not control his emotions after scoring a brilliant century against Delhi in the Ranji Trophy 2026-27 on Monday, October 12.
